New Edition, New Army

[Lippy]

Around 2 months or so ago I decided it was time to think about another new army. It was a toss up between Necrons and Dark Eldar and this is where I ended up.

I own two other army, Tau and Black Templars, both have entirely opposing playstyles. And with the Dark Eldar I'm looking forward to having a third!

 

I picked up a job lot of secondhand models, in varying states of painted/built/NIB listed below:

 

Lileth,

15x Wyches

10x Kabalites

5x Hellions

5x Mandrakes

2x Venoms (unbuilt)

1x Talos/Cronos (unbuilt)

2x Razorwing Jetfighters

 

In the long run I'm hoping to field a mixed Kabal/WychCult/Coven list featuring a bit of everything, just as I see it in the fluff.

 

Will largely be a lurker in this section of the forum until I've got an idea of where I'm going but I'll be around, and may even post a few photos of my minis as I paint them up.

Welcome to the dark side then!

 

Even though you're still figuring things out, I can already recommend getting a few raiders and a ravager or two. Anyways, have you decided on a paint scheme?

[Lippy]

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Yeah, first purchase once I'm done and ready is a Start Collecting box, Archon and Haemonculus, followed by another Raider, Ravager, and maybe some Grotesques or something else.

 

I've painted 5 kabalites so far and made a start on the Wyches.

Last Hatred as you can see. I like the purple. My Wyches and Coven will follow the similar scheme to tie them all together.

 

Im not a competitive player, so I'm just going to get what I think's cool, but i see the army as being a Kabal with Raiders backed up by a Ravager and some other units.

Wyches in Venoms with Hellions, Reavers and Razorwings,

then a Hired Coven with haemonculus, looking after his creations - Grotesques & Pain Engines.

 

I just hope i can fit them all in!

I like them - the Dark Purple really fits the Dark Eldar.

 

Have any pictures of the wyches? What cult will they be?

[Lippy]

So for the wyches they'll use the same scheme above for their kabalite armour then the standard black for their 'wych suits'. As for which 'cult' (*ahem*) well I'll just see the rules and decide what one suits me best. Same for Last Hatred tbh, its just a colour scheme for now.

Lileth will just have to pretend she's a normal Succubus until I get a standard model if the Cult of Strife rules don't tickle me.

 

I finished the purple on all 15 last night. I've used a mix of dry brushing, washing and highlighting to get there so now I'm onto the black half and the wych flesh.

 

After them, I'm going to roll a die and choose which of the other 5 unit types I'll paint next (though I may leave the mandrakes for a while as they least interest me fluff wise).

Paint Lileth tan.  Then she's a sand wych.
